Okay, so I finally gave up the ghost on my old car and bought another one. And guess what: this one has a CD player - which can only be a good thing in this country, given the amount of time you waste twiddling your thumbs in traffic wondering why it takes so long to do whatever it is they’re doing to that stretch of road on the way into Belfast. I’m enjoying listening to a few old favourites, and checking out some new stuff too.
